so sorry for my recent blog absence, but i think i have a pretty good excuse! introducing emma kate...arrived at 1:07 a.m on 10.3! i was scheduled for a repeat c-section on 10.12, but baby girl had other plans;) i predicted she would arrive early, but not THAT early (my actual due date wasn't until 10.18). i had a feeling arriving as planned wouldn't be enough of an "entrance" for this little drama queen, and boy was i right...we were caught totally off guard! we are so blessed to welcome this little angel to our family, and can you tell that her big brother absolutely LOVES her?!! he is so sweet with her...we'll enjoy it while it lasts!

"The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy." Psalm 126:3
